Is this phone number a mobile or landline? What web sites/apps do this?

At work, my boss has asked me to verify a few thousand numbers, as to whether they are cell phone numbers or landlines. Preferably by uploading a spreadsheet that feeds back results, rather than one by one.
Any advice? Thanks. (both free and paid solutions considered)
Sounds like it would cost approximately $1 per 1000. Bash script a curl command and you should be set.

Response by poster: These are 99% US phones, about 1% Canadian.

Twilio can also do this (although it's more expensive than everyoneapi).

Numbers can be ported between the two, so any data or database that you use will only be a snapshot and can be or become outdated. If this project is to comply with the law, you should take steps to keep the data current.

Check out RealPhoneValidation. The RPV carrier lookup is in realtime for up to the minute accuracy. If you only want to check a few numbers there is a tool to perform the search right on the web page. Looking for more than a few numbers RPV offers API & batch validation.
